First report of bovine neosporosis in dairy cattle in Costa Rica

NEOSPOROSIS has recently been recognised as a major cause of abortion in dairy cattle worldwide (Barr and others 1990, Duff and Otter 1994, Boulton and others 1995). The disease is caused by the protozoan parasite, Neospora caninum, which is closely related to Toxoplasma gondii (Dubey and Lindsa...

The disease is caused by the protozoan parasite, Neospora caninum, which is closely related to Toxoplasma gondii (Dubey and Lindsay 1993).Consequently, it may have a life cycle similar to T gondii, which is transmitted by ingestion of oocysts in the faeces of a definitive host or by oral or nasal exposure to tachyzoites or oral exposure to bradyzoites (Thurmond and others 1997). For N caninum, however, vertical transmission is the major mode of transmission (Anderson and others 1997). In Costa Rica, a retrospective study (1987 to 1993) on 23 dairy farms located in a tropical cloud forest ecosystem (Holdrige 1987) found an overall abortion rate of 7-6 per cent (515 abortions out of 6741 animals calving).

Sin embargo, para N caninum la transmisión vertical es el principal modo de transmisión (Anderson y otros 1997). En Costa Rica, un estudio retrospectivo (1987 a 1993) en 23 granjas lecheras en un ecosistema de bosque tropical nuboso (Holdrige 1987) encontró una tasa global de abortos del 7 al 6% (515 abortos de 6741 animales paridos).
